Aliens
Moderator: Moporators
sure as hell exist.
might have visited the earth; don't remember name of the theory, but it's about that the first 1-celled organisms came to earth from space, and then eventually evolved into us. personally i dont believe in this theory, but hey, who am i to say it's wrong?

i saw a documentary once about chances of aliens in the universe. the chances of us not being alone is very slim, like 2-3%. anyway, to verify it, a rabbit was sent to some planet. there he actually met(!) an alien who wanted to blow up the 'oith'. the alien had an english speaking(!!!) faithful dog, but the rabbit stopped him, while sacrificing though that planet, that blew up in the shape of a quarter of a moon. nobody knows what happened afterwards, but the proof remains...
I'd say chances of us being alone are like 1/1000000000000000......%nony wrote:i saw a documentary once about chances of aliens in the universe. the chances of us not being alone is very slim, like 2-3%.

i do believe aliens exist
with the amount of galaxies and planets that actually exist, the chances would be very slim that none of those actually possess one living organism.
yeah, and i'd love to hear sveinR's point of view on this...

I don't like the word "aliens". I prefer regarding them as a humanlike race somewhere in a distant galaxy. I mean, the universe is so big, and we barely know our own solar system, so chances are pretty high that there is some inteliigent civilization in a far away planet.
Paradox is: assuming the number of planets (thus life environments) in the universe tends to infinity, and lets say that the chance to find humanlike civilization on a planet is 1:(10^20) - then there is still an infinite number of civilzations out there, and it is but logical that the Human race is not the most advanced of them all. Therefore, I came to the conclusion that some other civilzation must have better technologies and space-travel capabilities: so how come we never had visitors on our planet?
Only possible solution is that I base this paradox on a coarse assumption (the number of planets in the universe is, indeed, very large, yet still finite).
Other opinions on this subject?

well, ye, one reason no other organisms have reached us could be just the fact that the usiverse is so huge, that no one has found us
I'd also like to think that since the universe is endless and there probably are an infinite number of other species on other planets, there must also be an infinite number of better species to visit than us?

Buy grapes in the grocery and pick a good-looking one. Now you have a nice grape in your hand, but can you say it's the best in the country?
My point is that even if there are civilizations that are yet to discover fire, there must be some others that already master space-travel or colonize other planets. My premise is that we are somewhere in the middle of the technological achievements scale, which is way more logical than assuming that we are in the top of it.
Another possible solution that just came to my mind: maybe the everlasting changes that the astronomical objects are going through (collisions, orbits shifting, climates changing) just never allow a certain species to survive enough time to become highly technologically advanced (and thus able to come say "hello" to us). Or, of course, all civilzations annihilate themselves before this stage (which will likely happen to us, now in the nuclear age).

There are atleast 10^79 electrons in the universe, and still, i don't think that applies to anti-matter either (where the electrons have a positive charge).milagros wrote: there are around 10^79 electron in the universe (yes, it can be counted)

there is no 'atleast' in 10^79, it's around that number together (assuming there was big bang)

Could exist, but definitely have not visited Earth. Do you guys not realize that to get even to the nearest star in our galaxy takes several light years, by which time any living being would be long dead.
By the way, Earth isn't as insignificant as you might at first think. Yes, there are loads of stars and so it is probable that there exists a planet that is also a suitable distance from a star to allow life, but there are more factors than just distance from the star. For one, we have Jupiter nearby, which pulls most of the potentially life-threatening asteroids out of our path due to its superior gravitational field.
There could be other life forms somewhere else in the Universe, and maybe that event even has a probability greater than 0.5. But I don't agree that it is likely they are trying to contact us, let alone visit us, and they would be, as far as I'm concerned, every bit as oblivious to our existence as we are to theirs.

I don't get this. It might take some hundreds of thousands of years seen from the planet they were sent from, but the time on the spaceship will be alot shorter :/
OT: why is it there isn't as much anti matter as "real" matter? Is it something about the symmetri in the early universe or something ? :/

this is no waterproof opinion. One could move a civilisation by spaceships. Especially one whom might have a far more advanced technology than we could ever imagine. And with that type of technology one might even be able to get a spaceship that could travel that far in an earth-day.
Still, I'm pretty sure that no 'aliens' have visited the earth since the earth is so young compared to the universe.

maby if they had such advanced technology that they could fold universe together, travel through that fold and then unfold again, i guess that might be hard tho, but who knows ;o
maybe the have something that can disolve you into mere quarks or possibly something smaller, send them away to a planned destination where they assemble again? Yes, kinda like teleportation. And ez be able to get quarks up to a speed close to C. adn i since the quakrs don't get like older or age (i think? :0) there could be a spossibility that someone could survive deep-space travel?

Interesting, igge. I think it might be easier than that though. If you manage to break someone down in quarks, you can probably just digitalise anything aswell. Then you can send the information using light across the universe where on the other side another machine will reassemble it again.
Ofcourse, you need to have gotten across the universe first, so that will be a problem. But I guess that's the same story with your proposition, because there's no way those guys are gonna reassemble lifeforms all by themselves.

If they have found a way to create living organisms through coding (you code the equivalent to our DNA) and if you could code living organisms, maybe you could send the data to other places in space, and then through some process create them where they end up?

But then the question remains: Why would someone bother coding our feelings, which are threatening to destroy the earth? Would be much better to code us as slaves, so that when they have developed even more sophisticated space-travel they could with some proogram kill us all instantaniously and then inhabit the earth themselves?

Better yet; there planet was about to dissolve due to severe climatic changes, so they sent capsules out to space containing the highly experimental Developable Nurturing Anthropos. The planet finally exploded when this DNA was well on it's way to several corners of the universe.
And one of these capsules happens to have landed on earth, about 4 billion years ago. The DNA had yet a long journey to eventually evolve into DNA capable of producing human life. We ourselves are alien.

But still the universe is so big so that even traveling with the speed of light it will still take mill of years :/..tijsjoris wrote: If you manage to break someone down in quarks, you can probably just digitalise anything aswell.

Btw it wouldn't make any sense to break the atoms down to quarks :/
You see, time doesn't really matter in this concept. That's why I think we need to digitalise instead of breaking down into quarks or atoms, because these still have a maximum age.
Imagine sending those atoms through space, and when they've gotten to their destination: who knows what is left of you.
Really, I don't think the chance of aliens being able to do this is any greater than very, very, very slim. We should instead take a look a the question of how far the closest aliens capable of performing deep space travelling (maybe with some 30% of C) are. Would they be either 10, 100, 1000 or a million lightyears away?

The whole idea of teleporting doesn't make any sense in present scientific contexts. If we're approaching this question from a rational perspective, this science fiction speculation has no place here.
Btw what zamppe said is totally right. Scientists estimate there are about 1 billion billion (1 * 10^18) planets in the Universe. Richard Dawkins, in his book, conservatively estimates that the chances of a planet being able to host life are a billion to 1.
Let's do some crude probability computations. We already know that there is at least one planet able to host life, because we live on it. Now let's find the probability that we are the only one.
P(one planet can host life) = 1/(1,000,000,000)
P(one planet cannot host life) = 1 - [1/(1,000,000,000)]
P(two planets cannot host life) = 1 - [1/(500,000,000)]
P(in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets, there are not two who can host life) = {1 - [1(500,000,000)]}^(1,000,000,000,000,000,000)
= 0, as far as an ordinary calculator will tell you. The real answer is as good as 0.
So as I said before, there very likely are others out there. But the idea of communicating with them or ever having a chance to see them is simply not compatible with science at present.

I got the number from Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion". Allow me to quote him exactly:niN wrote:I'd like to hear their motivation, did you read this off some site?sierra wrote:...

"Again... the anthropic alternative to the design hypothesis is statistical. Scientists invoke the magic of large numbers. It has been estimated that there are between 1 billion and 30 billion planets in our galaxy, and about 100 billion galaxies in the universe. Knocking a few noughts off for reasons of ordinary prudence, a billion billion is a conservative estimate of the number of available planets in the universe. Now, suppose the origin of life, the spontaneous arising of something equivalent to DNA, really was a quite staggeringly improbable event. Suppose it was so improbable as to occur on only one in a billion planets. A grant-giving body would laugh at any chemist who admitted that the chance of his proposed research succeeding was only one in a hundred. But here we are talking about odds of one in a billion. And yet, even with such absurdly long odds, life will still have arisen on a billion planets - of which Earth, of course, is one."
